Original 1950s 50s Vintage Black Wool Asymmetric Double Breasted Skirt Suit With Iridescent Trim By Miami Roma
This wonderful suit was made from a lightweight black wool in the 1950s. The jacket is cut in a stylish double breasted asymmetric style, which features five buttons that taper elegantly towards the waist. The cut is further highlighted with iridescent trim around the edges of the jacket and functional waist pockets, which changes between gold and silver depending on the light.
The jacket closes with a long rear metal zipper and skirt has a matching zipper which is unusually also at the rear to form a neat line with the jacket. The jacket also features fantastic large wrap around pockets which extend from the front all the way around to the back of the garment to create a lovely feature and give shape to the wearer’s hips. Inside, the jacket is unlined and has a makers label for Miami Roma.

This garment is available to purchase with or without dress shields. These clever little contraptions have been made by our seamstress to an original 1940s pattern and can be simply attached to your garment by tack stitching at the corners of the underarm seam, pinning (we wouldn’t recommend that, it hurts if it goes wrong, so if you try this, it is at your own risk only) or inserting tiny poppers. They then stand ready to absorb any sweat and body odours as needed and you can simply detach and launder them instead of your garment, saving you a fortune in dry cleaning bills.
They are equally suitable for suits, blazers and dresses and come in two different options:
1. Pure cream cotton for your heavier weight dresses, blazers and suits
or
2. White cotton muslin for lightweight summer dresses (so they don’t show through the fabric)
They are universally sized and super easy to use even for a sewing novice as only a couple of tiny stitches are required at each side to secure them.
We sell Dress Shields as a standalone item or at a discount if you purchase them with a garment. We will select the appropriate type to match the garment you have purchased.
